Today is the day we give thanks for the good we have received throughout the year. Each week we should reflect on this gratitude because it sets us up to receive even more. Not only to be thankful to God for the stuff we got but the stuff we don't get. We pray for stuff but sometimes we don't get it because we weren't ready for it. Find that distinction. It is an important one. When stresses come it shows us who we are. How do we deal with it. Do we lash out in exasperation. It is at that time that we take a back seat and see what would be our best course of action. Our reactions is what matters. Whether we are wrong or right it doesn't matter but how we respond does matter. I fail on this scenario, quite a bit. Got to learn to bite my tongue before making things worse. Learn to put that pause into your interactions with others. Will the action promote healing or not. Use this in every aspect of your life. There is allot of discord out there, let's see if we can do our part in healing it. We want to keep our equanimity in tact. Our life will be more peaceful for our future days.
This day more than any other is of great importance in bettering our lives. But only if we live it every day and not just the last Thursday of every November. Be thankful and embrace it everyday.
